Carbon Look Grille?

Anyone purchase the now discontinued carbon look grille from mbspecialist? I'm wanting to know what the quality is like and if it is worth purchasing? I'm looking at purchasing the W210 carbon look inner grille and modifying it to fit the W202 frame. Any input is appreciated.

Cheers

That carbon look avantgarde grille is a nice piece and some that purchased it on here are happy with them.I have a chrome one on my blk 43 and like it.Just a suggestion you can buy a chrome one and wrap the slats in 3m ni-doc carbon..had my sail panel done in this stuff and they look awesome.I might go and have my grill done as well

Thanks for your input and advice. I was also looking at a W202 Advantgarde made by a company called URO. They claim to be far better quality than Asian manufactures and equivalent to OE. Anyone have a URO grille and able to shed some light as to the quality?

Cheers

I purchased a carbon look grille and it is still going strong despite having had a close encounter and meeting with a pigeon when driving. It knocked and unglued a bit of a horizontal slat. The bird was pushed in the undergrowth in a cloud of feathers and other body matters...

Crap! I've never encountered a close call with any type of bird but, I nearly had a deer's head come right through the driver's side windshield. I literally saw a deer in headlights and it is true! It completely froze when it saw my headlights.
